I would say she was being interrogated fiercely and she was frightened. 18 years old and just starting college in a country far away from home.
My daughter would fall apart in that situation! By blaming someone else, yes you can say what a stupid move. But, imagine what she went through at such a young age.
Finally she is coming home and I know she deserves to come home. There wasn’t any evidence pointing to her at all.
Her and her boyfriends stories for the night make no sense.
I will agree the prosecution made a weak case, but realistically speaking it absurd to believe she didn’t know more.......also considering it was later revealed she bought home one of the murderers, that she would blame someone else is bizzare......she was hardly the shrieking violet, by all accounts she was a two bit slut.
